Spring Fair Raffle Ticket Update...

Nick Earls If you are an aspiring writer, make sure you keep an eye on our silent auction.

Award winning Author, Nick Earls has generously donated a writing consultation session for an emerging writer. This means the winner will have Nick read a two-page pitch and a sample of a few pages AND a meeting of up to one hour to discuss the writing, the industry, and talking through where the writer might go next from a creative and business point of view. Nick is part of the Australian Writers Mentoring Program, so this would be invaluable to anyone looking to get into the writing industry and make a career out of it. What a great gift idea! Thanks Nick.
